Twenty-five-million-dollar data collection and analysis company were started about two years ago to collect data and analyze it. Since it has been in operation for the eighteen months, it has grown thus need Chief Information Officer (CIO) who would manage the infrastructure of IT and who would take the Company to the next level. The company currently is using web analytics together with operational systems data to collect the data. Web analytics is gaining a lot of popularity as part of most business marketing plans. The company has employed twenty employees which four of them are appointed and dedicated to the Information Technology of the organization.
Web analytics is a way of analyzing the characteristics of visitors who have visited the web site. It helps the company to attract more visitors, retain and improve the goods and services of the company. It also used for prediction if the customer is likely to need the product and services again. Wen analytics is used I CRM (customer relationship management). It is used in analyses and monitoring the behaviors of the customer, geographical area where a specific product bought mostly. Web analytics may have tracking to determine when the most customer comes to the site and the age group they belong.
As a newly appointed Chief of Information Officer, I am expected to make sure that the company grows by sixty percent for the next two years. Due to the growth that is assumed, we are going to deliver a comprehensive information system to address how the data collected will be handled and supported by company information technology infrastructure. The current company based on one floor and due to expected growth, it will be expanded to a three-level within the next six months. Since it is a new company as IT guys, we are going to advise the CEO on technological infrastructures to used. We are going to design the new network design for the three floors and how it will be linked together. We are going to incorporate different technologies from different partners.
The company has several solutions to be implemented thus as Chief Information Officer we need to choose the best among them. These solutions are hosted solution, on-site solution, and a hybrid model. As CIO we are going to select the Hybrid Model. The hybrid model is an approach to employ computing in the company to provide and manages some IT infrastructure and resource in-house while using cloud-based. It allows the business to maintain centralizes approach to information technology governance during experiencing with cloud computing. Since we are going to adopt hybrid model these are the force behind it.; to maintain control of data, cost-effective of cloud components like SaaS (Software as a Service) or (Storage as a service) and respond quickly to business changes.
The main challenges in the current enterprise are migrating to cloud computing. This applied science gives a new prototype based on how the payment is demanded information and communication technologies (ICT). In this consciousness, the most interesting in the company is supposed to be initial investments which can be avoided. Cloud computing allows gradual enforcement; however, we discussed in depth the characteristics and capabilities of cloud computing. The technology has lacked an entry in terms of real frameworks, and practical. These can act as a framework since this research aims to fill this gap. It is a real tool presenting and already to be put in place and tested; cloud computing can be adopted and used as a decision tool. This tool uses diagnosing based on a specific inquiry to collect the required data and afterward provide the user with valuable knowledge to the implementation of the business within the cloud, specifically in the form of Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions.
The processed data acquired allows the conclusion to be made by top management makers to bring forth their specific Cloud computing Road. We have done a pilot survey which has been carried out with the local level of business at a level with a two-fold objective: the processed information on cloud computing is to be confirmed with the degree to identify the most exciting trend and patterns in the business areas and there related to tools for this information technology. As predicted, there was profound knowledge in terms of cloud computing, and results show high interest in the subject and the device presented aims to readdress this counterpart, by providing a solution to the problem.
Digital communication through voice, data, and video is essential for companies in performing their day to day business functions. A well-Designed Network LAN is critical to the management of business because it is necessary to identify devices that are compatible with the network being designed and their configurations must be in line with the business goals. The Network design approach to be used here is the switched topology network that involves dividing the system into different layers; each of the layers has its designated functions within the network. There are business benefits for the hierarchical approach to LAN design. The design can be expanded, and the designed interface can be replicated as the system grows in volume since each of the modules is consistent. As the network devices become more substantial, the availability of the network becomes could become more critical. The availability can be accumulated by a redundant implementation with the hierarchical systems. The switches can easily be expanded to ensure path redundancy. Redundancy is only limited in the media access layer.
In a LAN network, the non-performing switches can be avoided, and it enhances performance by the transmission of data. Instead, data is transmitted through the switch ports to the distribution layer from the access layer. The distribution layer then uses its switching capabilities to transfer data to its destination. The security of data is improved: the switches can be developed through the configurations of the switch
Locations of the Media
The media devices will be positioned on different floors. In the Second Floor of the company may contain the Main servers of the company and can be located here. The positioning of the computers and switches that serve various elements of the software. During the connection every switch should be connected to the server in each room, every computer connected in a bus system.
Topology and Protocol
The Bus Topology can be used since all nodes will be connected to a single cable. The bus topology is used when having few computer nodes in a network for example, in this case, and the interface is connected to three rooms, bus topology will be quick to deploy. When compared to the star topology, it requires less cable length [6]. Although bus topology has the following drawbacks; when the network has a problem, it is difficult to locate where the problem may be. An additional cost of terminators which are required at the ends of the cable. It cannot also be applied to big networks.
Information System it when you integrate various modules for processing, collecting and storing data to provide information, digital products, and knowledge. The organization will have to put an information system to manage the operation and interact with the customers. Information System has the various component to support it namely computer hardware and software; database and data warehouse, telecommunications, procedures, and human resources. Computer hardware it is own by everybody thus includes smartphone which can be able to surf. If we have transmission media, storage, and display media we classify them as computer hardware. Computer software is a divide in two systems (operating system- manages hardware parts, data, and programs) and application (handle specific task) software. The database is a collection of interrelated data which is delivered by the information system to data stored. If the data is kept for long and it will be mined to get new patterns, then it becomes a data warehouse. When the collected information is put in the data store, it is being operated and cleaned. Operation system can support various functions since it can be used to design new products, predict trends, know the marketing of products and service. The operating system can be used to support various task and units in the organization and is called ERP systems.
During operating data, it is part of analytics since it helps you to understand the target. It helps to provide insights into the company. It helps to plan for the future, and the company primarily deals in collecting and analyses of the data. When we have analyzed the data, we see the output of the data via the interface. We have so many interfaces that we interact with them to deliver the desired results like during the collection of data to the last step of outputs the data.
